CFPG-FM is a Canadian radio station in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Owned by Corus Entertainment, the station broadcasts an adult contemporary format branded as Peggy @ 99.1. The station broadcasts from 1440 Jack Blick Avenue in CF Polo Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba with sister stations CJOB and CJKR-FM.
The station signed on February 28, 2003 on 99.1 FM, which was the former home in Winnipeg of CKO for a short period in 1988 and 1989. Originally, CJZZ-FM was broadcast from the Starbuck Communications Tower, but Canwest found this caused multipath to occur, so they applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to broadcast from a new transmitter that Rogers was putting up, and to decrease the EIRP from 100,000 to 63,700 watts. At this time the station was branded as 99.1 Cool FM, a tie-in for sister television channel CoolTV.
In September 2006, Corus Entertainment, already owner of Winnipeg's CJOB and CJKR-FM, announced it would buy CJZZ-FM and Kitchener, Ontario's CKBT-FM, from CanWest, subject to CRTC approval. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on July 6, 2007. Corus Entertainment officially took ownership of CJZZ on July 29, 2007.
On November 5, 2007, the station rebranded as Groove FM, and changed its call letters to CJGV-FM.
In April 2010, Corus Radio Winnipeg announced the future relocation of its radio broadcast facility to 1440 Rapelje Avenue (since renamed Jack Blick Avenue), as part of a lease agreement between Corus Entertainment and Cadillac Fairview. The relocation to Polo Park was originally slated for January 2011. CJOB 680, CJGV-FM and CJKR-FM would become the anchor tenants. Corus Radio Winnipeg planned to occupy the second floor of the three story building, upsizing its radio, production and business operations to 17,500 square feet (1,630 m2). At the time, general manager Garth Buchko said the stations had outgrown their 930 Portage Avenue facility. With the move, Corus Radio Winnipeg would also upgrade to state-of-the-art, fully digital on-air systems. At the end of February 2011, Groove FM completed the move to its new location at 1440 Jack Blick Avenue.
